What is the recommended annealing temperature for the U6 primer provided in the MicroRNA RT Master Mix for qPCR III (Poly A) kit (MedChemExpress HY-K0512)? Thank you in advance!
The recommended annealing temperature for the U6 primer in microRNA qPCR kits with Poly A tailing is generally around 60°C. Specifically, for similar Universal reverse primers used in Poly A tailing methods and qPCR detection, an annealing temperature of approximately 60°C is common practice.

The annealing temperature is kit-dependent, so you should confirm it in the manufacturer’s protocol. For most commercial microRNA RT-qPCR kits, the U6 snRNA primer anneals in the 55–60 °C range. Standard cycling conditions are typically 95 °C for denaturation followed by 55 °C for annealing/extension. If you are using GeneCopoeia’s MicroRNA qPCR III kit, the recommended annealing temperature is 55 °C.
